July 28, 1960 - Nathaniel White

White carried out his killings while already under state supervision, having been released on parole before the murders began — a detail that drew scrutiny to the oversight systems that failed to prevent them. Over sixteen months in the early 1990s, he confessed to the beating and stabbing deaths of six women across the Hudson Valley, a concentrated campaign of violence in a relatively contained geographic area. The crimes became part of a broader reckoning with how parole and criminal monitoring functioned in New York during that period.
